Brake pads
Checking front brake pad
thickness
Brake pads worn past
the minimum permissible
thickness can impair brak-
ing efficiency and under cer-
tain circumstances they can
cause damage to the brake
system.
In order to ensure the operat-
ing reliability of the brake sys-
tem, make sure that the brake
pads are not worn beyond
their minimum thickness.
Make sure ground is level
and firm and park the mo-
torcycle.
Check the brake pad thick-
ness with visual inspec-
tion. Direction of view: be-
tween wheel and fork tube
at brake caliper.
Front brake-pad wear
limit
0.04 in (1 mm) (Only fric-
tion material without carri-
er plate)
Wear markings (grooves)
must be clearly visible.
If the wear indicating marks
are no longer clearly visible:
Have the brake pads re-
placed by a specialized
workshop, preferably an
authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer.
